National Museum of Korea (3)
"You will regret it… I will remember this!"
Min Jung-woo glared at Jin-hyuk as if to kill him, as he ground his teeth.
He didn't seem to fully understand the situation yet.
Who is gab and who is Eul?
Jinhyuk shrugged.
"I don't think you understand. You don't know why I burned the map?"
He doesn't need information up to the 10th floor, that is what he means.
It means that he knows all the information up to the 10th floor.
"no way……."
It was then that Min Jung-woo opened his eyes wide.
"If you want to climb to the 10th floor safely, don't hesitate and do what I tell you."
If he says a move to the left, move to the left. When he says a move to the right, it means to move to the right.
If he listens well, he will get a piece of rice cake?
"As you see that the map is also burned, it must be..."
"You seem to have a unique ability related to 'information search'. That It make your confidence higher."
Min Jung-woo assumed as he pleases.
And he looked at Jinhyuk with a life-like look.
"But, why do I have to listen to you like that? I can set you on fire and then extract only the information I want?"
Although mana is running out now.
If the mana was recovered, He was nothing more than burning up a person.
It's not wrong.
torture and intimidation.
It's an effective tool.
"If you think you can win a one-on-one fight..."
Jinhyuk's eyes grew cold.
At the same time, red flames erupted from both hands.
[Lv1 'Element of Fire' is activated!]
Whoops!
A huge flame began to burn.
"I, maybe that?"
An earthquake occurred in Min Jung-woo's pupil.
Min Jung-woo almost screamed at the unbelievable sight.
"How… how could you have the same powers as me…"
no, not the same ability.
A stronger and hotter flame.
no doubt about it,
At least one or two levels higher fire magic. It was a gap that widened because they had a different understanding of the skill and stat they had.
gulp.
Dry saliva ran down Min Jung-woo's neck.
'Even if mana was in a full state. Can I win?'
Min Jung-woo, who was worried, immediately shook his head.
'It would be impossible.'
A small flame can't swallow a larger flame.
It was only now that he understood why he got past yuri.
The stone statue she had has no use.
But there is one.
There was something that didn't fit.
"Why are you hiding it even though you have that kind of power? If you had shown your power from the beginning, you could have simply killed me."
"reason?"
Jinhyuk smirked.
Then I broke through the barrier and stood in front of Min Jung-woo.
"Do I have to explain all of that to you?"
"Well, that's..."
"It is my job to ask questions and give orders, so you just have to follow them."
Min Jung-woo, who made eye contact, trembled and averted his gaze.
"Answer?"
"I know... I know."
I knew it.
He completely curled up.
Jinhyuk now has picked up the flame skill.
The part where the tiger was summoned in the picture was shocking itself.
When the tiger tore the five stone statues apart, even the announcer seemed to be at a loss for words.
He had no choice but to do so.
Because everything was far beyond common sense.
-… … It's hard to believe, but it's a reality without exaggeration.
After a few seconds of silence, the announcer stuttered and continued.
The inside of the restaurant became even noisier.
"I can't believe it. Is that… what a human can do?"
"Oh my God."
"Who are they?"
Most of the relatively older guests tilted their heads.
On the other hand.
"That's him. That's the person who appeared in the Tower of Trials community a while ago!"
"Ah. A video of mangrove trees being killed with wood shards?"
"That's right. Those reflexes, that movement! It's that person!"
The younger generation recognized it at once.
It's the most popular issue in all portal sites and communities right now, so it's inevitable.
"I'm really curious. What is it?"
"It could be the final weapon the government was secretly developing."
"There's even talk of a famous BJ."
speculative remarks abounded
Jinhyuk, who was next to him, scratched his cheek.
Hearing those words out loud made his ears tickle.
right then
A new person appeared on TV.
He was a man in his early 40s, with a sharp impression.
-… … my name is Han Sang-jin, the person is in charge of the Awakened Association.
He is a man with a sword mark that crosses his face and cold eyes.
'It's Han Sang-jin... … .'
Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.
Maybe it's because he has pretty good abilities to be the president of the association.
Maybe it's because he has been playing Tower of Trials for a long time.
Jinhyuk wishes it was the former if possible.
That way, someday, when they meet, he can copy his abilities.
While Jinhyuk regained his appetite, Han Sangjin continued his speech.
-The reason I came here is to recruit awakened people. There will be differences depending on the grade, but we promise to treat you as a grade 7 civil servant with a minimum annual salary of 6,000.
Considering the reality of Korea, which is struggling with employment difficulties, it was an unconventional treatment.
It seems that they are trying to gather the Awaken in their way, but well... ….
It remains to be seen how many will leave the land of opportunity to become civil servants.
- Of course, the one who appeared on the video is an exception. I'll suggest in the name of the president of the association. If you join us, we will support whatever you want at the government level.
Why did you make such a fuss?
'I was the purpose.'
One skilled player has a much higher value than 100 ordinary players.
Sang-Jin Han also knows that, so he is trying to convince him with a blank check.
However,
'He completely sees me like a hog.'
No matter what price he offered, I had no intention of belonging anywhere.
He had no intention of sharing what he knew.
Jinhyuk glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Now 12 hours left.
Exactly 7 pm.
When the hour hand points to a new time.
The Tower of Trials will be opened.
"I'll contact you later. Until then, take the girl downstairs and work hard to level up."
Even if he tried to use them, if they was too weak, it would only become a burden.
'At least until they become useful, let them grow a little.'
Jinhyuk walked down the stairs with his back exposed.
He was defenseless enough to allow himself to be attacked.
"……"
However, Min Jung-woo did not lift a finger. no. He couldn't.
He had no choice but to do so.
'If you threaten clumsily, I did rather aim for a chance to counterattack.'
That is human psychology.
When one gets angry, one would wants to get revenge badly.
So it has to be imprinted on the bone.
To make them think that they won't dare to attack under any circumstances.
Now, Only the chess piece that can be used with complete freedom is born.
＊＊＊
It was around sunrise in the morning when Jinhyuk left the museum and returned to the neighborhood he was living in.
It was a long day.
It's like compressing several months and stuffing them in a day.
"Ugh!"
Jinhyuk stretched out.
As he slowly loosened his arms and legs, he felt his aching body lighten up a bit.
'The Tower of Trials is open in the evening, so until then, let's eat some food and get some sleep.'
Getting enough rest and eating well is just as important as being active.
Above all, if he is not in good shape, it is difficult to utilize his strength.
But, before taking a full rest... ….
There is something he needs to check.
"Status window."
Jinhyuk muttered toward the air.
T-tiring!
———————————————————
Name: Kang Jin-hyuk
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Level: 1
Strength 8 Dexterity 8 Stamina 8 mana 11
Stat Points you have: 0
Occupation: None.
Unique Ability: Fusion
skill: Lv1 'Element of Fire', Lv1 'Eye of Truth'
———————————————————
The status window has been changed.
New ability were placed in the empty unique abilities and skill windows.
"nice……."
Unknowingly, exclamations came out of his mouth.
It has to be because he has acquired the unique ability that is considered the most deceptive.
It was just a step outside the starting line, but it was inevitable that his whole body was trembling with anticipation.
'Let's calm down.'
Jinhyuk managed to calm his trembling heart.
'The first thing to do is to get as many unique abilities and skills as possible.'
There are more than 50,000 kinds of abilities that exist in this world.
It means there is a long way to go.
'I have to set priorities and collect the most necessary abilities first.'
When I got the 'Element of Fire' from Min Jung-woo, the conditions for copying were not very difficult.
But that's because it's level 1.
The higher the rank and the higher the level, the more difficult the conditions for copying must have become.
Of course, I shouldn't be in a hurry.
If I try to get things done too quickly, things get messed up.
From a historical point of view, there are a lot of cases where things went south when in a hurry.
'I will not repeat the mistakes they made. never.'
… … That's what most of the awakening would think.
The number of awakening people who appeared in the National Museum of Korea was only four, including Jinhyuk.
He understands it
